I have one more suggestion,

The last time I checked out Gigaom.com (after the design update), the Font Colour for the Respondents Name was same as that of Comments (at the top, next to the title). I don’t know why, but that RED looked good. And in many ways prompted me to click on the hyperlink of a respective respondent.

I have a huge monitor and decent resolution and 2/3 of the page is taken up by the header (which includes ads), the right hand ad bar, and the “jobs” insert, which also has an ad. There’s only room for two story snippets! That seems like the wrong balance to me…

Too wide and doesn’t have the inetersting appeal that I used to have earlier to read.

Different colors for heading would be nice…

We haven’t had time to optimize our new layout properly. Should improve over the next few days.

The text literally bump up against the side of the application with no padding.

As I said last time you redesigned, I liked the dark blue design you had before that the best, elegant and newsy. It may have been a bit staid for a tech blogging site but it would have been better to tweak that one, maybe by adding a reddish secondary color, than the other designs you ended up using. However, with this design, it does look like you’ve gone back in that direction a bit.

Following up on what one of your previous commenters said, I have noticed that the site has been slower to load since you went to wordpress hosting. Maybe it’s all the ads from the different ad networks slowing the page down, but I’d suggest hosting elsewhere as the site doesn’t seem to be as responsive at wordpress.

What an improvement. I used to avoid visiting GigaOM (only to subscribe to the feed) because of the slow, cluttered web-site.

I especially like the typography and the content layout.

Gave me so much grief finding a decent wordpress theme supporting the widgets I need. The only option seems to be the default one which as everybody says does not give enough space to the content in the main column.

Really slick, well done!

the problem of logo – ad is being addressed right now though it might take a day or two to roll out.

the nav bar is going to go through some minor changes to clarify everything. hope to get this right soon enough.

Just thought I would let you know that the site look great.
It is hard to realize that the other sites in the navigation bar at the top aren’t just other pages on this site.
We all know but first time visitors might not. And then the “am” and “pm” in the comments are on the second line down. Overall great work.
